Description

Explore a detailed historical account of the West African coast through the writings of Jean Barbot. This two-volume collection from Routledge presents the extensive research and observations of a commercial agent who traveled on French voyages between 1678 and 1712. Barbot's work provides a unique look at the Guinea coast, built from his personal voyage journals and existing printed sources. The text reflects his journey as a Huguenot refugee who fled to England in 1685, leading him to rewrite and expand his original French accounts into a larger English version. Through continuous revisions until his death in 1712, Barbot created a comprehensive record of the region. This set is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in maritime history, world history, and the historical context of West Africa during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The volumes offer a deep dive into the primary source documentation of the era, making it a valuable addition to any academic or historical library.
